White Glove Building Inspections

Home inspection, Mold Testing & Remediation, Radon Detection & Reduction

About us

White Glove provides residential and commercial property inspections in Northern Illinois for buyers, sellers and homeowners. Our staff includes two property inspectors,two radon technicians and one mold tester. Our inspectors are licensed, insured and bonded. Our fees are based on the size, age and amenities within the home and our reports are emailed to our clients within 24 hours of the inspection. We feel it is important for our clients/buyers to be present at the inspection and to follow the inspector through the home, asking questions as you go. If the utilities are not on during the inspection, there will be a $150.00 reinspection fee to return to the home. We are celebrating our 20 year anniversary and are offering a $20.00 discount to those who mention Angie's List during the time of scheduling.

Damage to Property is as follows: 1. Failure to re-energize the furnace causing great discomfort to occupants including 79 year old adult. 2. Failure to re-secure external craw space entrance allowing animal access 3. Broke trim off of storage shed 4. Left mud at front entry and on carpet. 5. Large ladder placed on living room carpet. This ladder was not necessary and was not used. 6. Reset and changed appliance control settings without warning the occupant. 7. Relocated items without restoring their position 8. Three people who attempted the inspection blocked each other and were at best superfluous as they increased minor damage. 9. Increased occupant's water bill charge by running washer at full tub setting 10.Further access was denied. White Glove declined comment, thereby showing total lack of concern for their customers Pictorial Evidence of Damage Available.

The house I had made an offer on had been sitting vacant for about 6 months. It was clean but I was nervous about having a home inspection because you never know if there are hidden problems that will require expensive repairs. I was relieved that Mr. Drenthe was so knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to answer any questions I had. He also let me know much to my relief that this was a solidly built home and that there appeared to be no corners cut when it was built. He gave me a folder containing a copy of the inspection agreement, a summary sheet showing what areas were inspected and any areas of major concern observed during the inspection, a handy maintenance brochure of the steps to take if any household system stopped working (plumbing, heating, cooling, electrical, etc.) and of course his business card. He stated he would have the written report of his inspection results completed within 2 days which he did and sent it on to my mortgage company, as well as emailing a copy to me. I would definitely recommend using White Glove Inspections as I found them to be professional, courteous and thorough.
Description of Work: I used White Glove for the intial inspection of a house I wanted to purchase as this company was recommended by my realtor. I had called them on a Monday to make an appointment as quickly as possible per my mortgage company and they were able to fit in a time to do my home inspection on Wednesday morning of that same week. Their office also called me Tuesday afternoon to verify the appointment for the next morning. The home inspector was Arden Drenthe and he was very prompt, arriving a few minutes early. He did a thorough inspection of all interior and exterior areas of the house, including the basement, attic, and roof. He took many pictures as well. I also requested a radon test be done so his company placed a radon test kit in the basement and stated that the radon test kit would be picked up in a couple of days by a technician from their company, which did occur. When he was done with the inspection he pointed out some key areas I should have repaired first, even though they were minor fixes. The inspection was $300 and the radon testing was $165.
